in progress
Deleting (hopefully) unneeded Makefile.am
Finally removing old/
Delete Makefile.am that got away.
Attempt to implement autotools using setup.py.

STATUS
* Does not pass `make distcheck`; lots of files not being distributed.
* `make uninstall` is ugly and doesn't really work.
* `make clean` doesn't seam to clean much... but maybe that's what it does.
Fixed a few small issues

The POT file isn't needed, and the commands to generate the POT
have been restored.  The comment in the `Makefile.am` prevented it
from being correctly compiled, so that has been removed (though a
better way to uninstall MouseTrap is in the works).  The check for
the OpenCV module `cv` isn't actually needed because it maps to
`cv2.cv`.
Getting closer to working...

This updates Makefile.am to use the correct pathes for VPATH builds,
which are required for distcheck to pass.  The files that are
includes for distribution have also been updated and will probably
be changed again before this is all set.

The compilation step for locales has also been moved from install
to build as it makes more sense and new files cannot be created
during installation.  When compiling files, the directories will
also be created automatically if they do not already exist.
Got distcheck working!

This changes how the Makefile and the build process works such that
it will still use setuptools to build and install the application
while still being able to pass the distribution checks set in place
by automake.

Previously we were including all of the Python files in the
`_PYTHON` section of the Makefile, which didn't allow for directory
nesting at all.  This had the benefit of including the files in the
distribution automatically, and also compiled and moved the files
to the install directory when required.  The problem was that this
did half of the work that setuptools was doing during the install
process while not finishing the job correctly, causing the
distribution checks to fail.  Instead, we are now including the
setup.py and source files using `EXTRA_DIST`, which supports
recursion automatically, and we use setuptools to do all of the
work while installing.

This adds a `dist-hook` section which will remove the compiled
Python files.  Including compiled Python files in the distribution
package can cause unexpected issues and will be automatically
compiled during installation anyway.

This also overrides `distclean` such that it completely removes
the build directories for mousetrap.
dist-hook now only deletes mousetrap.egg*. Removed comments.
Generate AUTHORS and ChangeLog when `make dist` is run.
Fixed pip-based install
Update README.md to tell Fedora users to use --prefix=/usr
Merge pull request #29 from GNOME-MouseTrap/autotools2

Add autotool support.
Move bin/mt-gen-AUTHORS/ChangeLog into the Makefile

This fixes a distcheck issue and makes generating the files more
consistent along with removing the dependency on the external
binaries which are not included with the distribution.
